Emma Bunton

Emma Bunton gave birth to her second child, son Tate, on Friday, who weighed in at 7 lbs. "Both mother and baby are doing well," her rep says in a statement, "and the family are over the moon and would like to thank everyone for their kind wishes and support."

Bunton, 35, announced last fall she was expecting her second child with Jones, 31 – a former boy band singer who is now a chef – in May. The couple also have a 3½-year-old son named Beau.

"Baby Spice" may have also been nicknamed "Chubby Spice" for her ongoing weight battle, but Emma Bunton is now showing off her post-baby weight figure – more than a year after the birth of her son, Beau, who's now 17 months old.

"I put on a normal amount when I was pregnant with Beau, but it took me a year to get back to the weight I'd been before he was born," the singer, 32, who took along Beau on last year's Spice Girls' world tour, tells Britain's Daily Mirror.

It's official! Using their song lyrics and blog, the Spice Girls bid a final farewell Wednesday to cap the conclusion of their successful reunion tour.

"Our time is up ... we've come to the end of the road ... there are tears of both sadness and joy. Look how far we've come!," the group wrote on their Web site. "Yes, our reunion tour is proof that dreams do come true."

The letter to fans on the Spice blog was signed with love from Emma [Bunton], Geri [Halliwell], Mel B [Brown], Melanie C [Chisolm] and Victoria [Beckham] after concluding a song best summed up their feelings:

"Goodbye my friend, it's not the end ... So glad we made it, time will never ever change it ... "

In a holiday treat for Spice Girls fans in Britain, the group took to the stage Saturday night – although Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) showed signs of a recent ankle injury.

Still, when she came onto the stage, Bunton shouted, "We are back again!" And Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) greeted the crowd, saying, "Hello, London!"

In the front row, Victoria Beckham's family cheered for the group, and her eldest son, Brooklyn, waved to his mom (aka Posh Spice) when she came close to where they were sitting during the opening sequence.

The Spice Girls may be dancing on air during their reunion, but they hit much weightier topics – in particular, Geri Halliwell's abrupt exit from the group in 1998 – in their upcoming documentary, clips from which hit the Internet this week.

"I just felt like the band had got so big, and the girls were almost like they didn't need me anymore, really," says Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice, of her decision to strike out on her own, leaving her four bandmates in the lurch.
